UKRAINE Second Urban Infrastructure Project (UIP2) I. STRATEGIC CONTEXT A. Country Context 1. Ukraine is a country of 46 million people, with 68 percent of the population living in urban areas. The country has five cities with a population of over 1 million, another five with a population between 500,000 and 1 million, and some 35 cities that have populations between 100 and 500 thousand. The bulk of the urban population lives in towns of less than 100,000 people. Kiev is the largest city with a population of 2.8 million, followed by Kharkiv with 1.5 million people. 2. The country is emerging from the 2008 economic and financial crisis with serious structural weaknesses. Fiscal imbalances remain significant with large social transfers, inefficient public services, and significant quasi-fiscal subsidies threatening sustainability. The financial sector is fragile and the business climate is persistently ranked among the lowest in the region. Despite an export-led recovery over the past two years, output is below pre-crisis levels, and the economy remains vulnerable to volatile commodity prices and dependent on foreign financing. The public sector is large, but the quality of many public services has been deteriorating. Surveys conducted on the eve of Ukraine’s 20th anniversary of independence and recent social protests reveal widespread discontent with economic conditions and public governance. 3. In the face of well-identified social and economic development challenges, successive Ukrainian governments have struggled with implementing reforms. Behind many implementation difficulties lie fundamental challenges of economic and political governance. Corruption and state capture have been pervasive and are broadly recognized as a major development constraint. 4. Over the past decade, Ukraine’s authorities have shied away from undertaking structural reforms, and public trust in the state has been undermined. This, in turn, has created public resistance to necessary but painful reforms of social transfers and public services. Consecutive governments have thus opted for short-term fiscal

  • Design and Production of Drinking-Water Supply Network
    OUR EXPERT ASSESSMENT DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF A DRINKING-WATER SUPPLY NETWORK Especially committed to fighting water related diseases and unsanitary conditions, SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL (SI) has been involved in the field of access to drinking water and sanitation for almost 35 years. The annual number of deaths caused by these diseases has risen to 2.6 million, making it one of the world’s leading causes of death; amongst these victims, 1.8 million children, aged less than 15, still succumb... Today, when more than a billion people are still deprived of access to drinking water and permanently exposed to water-related diseases, the right to drinking water remains a vital concern in developing countries. In this regard, drinking-water supply networks represent quite a relevant technical solution for supplying water to refugees, as well as to dense populations and areas with high population growth. In order to further advance technical and socioeconomic diagnoses, SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL has led many projects, sometimes lasting years, in partnership with institutions and legitimate operators from the water sector. Hydraulic components and civil engineering relating to rehabilitation, growth and the construction of infrastructure are inseparable from the accompanying social measures, which involve placing sustainability, with the concerted management of water services and the participation of the community, at the heart of the process. Repairing, renovating or building a drinking-water network is a relevant ANALYSING AND ADAPTING technical response when the humanitarian emergency situation requires the re-establishment of the water supply and following the very first emergency TO COMPLEX measures (tanks, mobile treatment units).

  • UKRAINE the Constitution and Other Laws and Policies Protect Religious
    UKRAINE The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom and, in practice, the government generally enforced these protections. The government generally respected religious freedom in law and in practice. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom by the government during the reporting period. Local officials at times took sides in disputes between religious organizations, and property restitution problems remained; however, the government continued to facilitate the return of some communal properties. There were reports of societal abuses and discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. These included cases of anti-Semitism and anti- Muslim discrimination as well as discrimination against different Christian denominations in different parts of the country and vandalism of religious property. Various religious organizations continued their work to draw the government's attention to their issues, resolve differences between various denominations, and discuss relevant legislation. The U.S. government discusses religious freedom with the government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. U.S. embassy representatives raised these concerns with government officials and promoted ethnic and religious tolerance through public outreach events. Section I. Religious Demography The country has an area of 233,000 square miles and a population of 45.4 million. The government estimates that there are 33,000 religious organizations representing 55 denominations in the country. According to official government sources, Orthodox Christian organizations make up 52 percent of the country's religious groups. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate (abbreviated as UOC-MP) is the largest group, with significant presence in all regions of the country except for the Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Ternopil oblasts (regions).

  • One Ukraine Or Many? Regionalism in Ukraine and Its Political Consequences
    Nationalities Papers, Vol. 32, No. 1, March 2004 One Ukraine or Many? Regionalism in Ukraine and Its Political Consequences Lowell W. Barrington & Erik S. Herron Intra-state regional differences are a central topic in the study of European and Eurasian politics. In Ukraine, regional differences have proven to be powerful predictors of mass attitudes and political behavior. But what does the “regional factor” in Ukrainian politics represent? Is it simply the result of compositional effects, or are the regional differences more than just a sum of other demographic factors correlated with geographic divisions? When analyzing regional divisions as an explanatory variable, what are the implications of employing different regional frameworks? In this article, we demonstrate how geographic divisions in the country hold up even when others factors—such as ethnicity and language use—are con- trolled for. As part of this inquiry, we compare the results of three competing regional frameworks for Ukraine: one with two regions, one with four regions and one with eight regions. While the eight-region framework is uncommon in studies of Ukraine, the decision to examine eight regions is supported by historical, economic and demographic arguments, as well as by the results of the statistical analyses presented in this article. Scholars who have focused on fewer regions in Ukraine may have underestimated the effects of regional differences and missed interesting stories about intra-state variation in Ukrainian attitudes and voting behavior. The results of this study carry important implications not only for the study of Ukraine but also for those interested in intra-state regional divisions across Europe and Eurasia.

Received: 5 October 2013; in revised form: 26 February 2014 / Accepted: 5 March 2014 / Published: 21 March 2014 Abstract: Urban water systems face sustainability and resiliency challenges including water leaks, over-use, quality issues, and response to drought and natural disasters. Information and communications technology (ICT) could help address these challenges through the development of smart water grids that network and automate monitoring and control devices. While progress is being made on technology elements, as a system, the smart water grid has received scant attention. This article aims to raise awareness of the systems-level idea of smart water grids by reviewing the technology elements and their integration into smart water systems, discussing potential sustainability and resiliency benefits, and challenges relating to the adoption of smart water grids. Water losses and inefficient use stand out as promising areas for applications of smart water grids. Potential barriers to the adoption of smart water grids include lack of funding for research and development, economic disincentives as well as institutional and political structures that favor the current system.

  • A Framework for Identifying the Critical Region in Water Distribution Network for Reinforcement Strategy from Preparation Resilience
    sustainability Article A Framework for Identifying the Critical Region in Water Distribution Network for Reinforcement Strategy from Preparation Resilience Mingyuan Zhang 1,* , Juan Zhang 1 , Gang Li 2 and Yuan Zhao 1 1 Department of Construction Management, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian 116000, China; [email protected] (J.Z.); [email protected] (Y.Z.) 2 School of Civil Engineering, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian 116000, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 21 October 2020; Accepted: 4 November 2020; Published: 6 November 2020 Abstract: Water distribution networks (WDNs), an interconnected collection of hydraulic control elements, are susceptible to a small disturbance that may induce unbalancing flows within a WDN and trigger large-scale losses and secondary failures. Identifying critical regions in a water distribution network (WDN) to formulate a scientific reinforcement strategy is significant for improving the resilience when network disruption occurs. This paper proposes a framework that identifies critical regions within WDNs, based on the three metrics that integrate the characteristics of WDNs with an external service function; the criticality of urban function zones, nodal supply water level and water shortage. Then, the identified critical regions are reinforced to minimize service loss due to disruptions. The framework was applied for a WDN in Dalian, China, as a case study. The results showed the framework efficiently identified critical regions required for effective WDN reinforcements. In addition, this study shows that the attributes of urban function zones play an important role in the distribution of water shortage and service loss of each region.
